Sterigmatocystin, 5-Methoxysterigmatocistin, and Their Combinations are Cytotoxic and Genotoxic to A549 and HepG2 Cells and Provoke Phosphorylation of Chk2, but not FANCD2 Checkpoint Proteins
Sterigmatocystin (STC) and 5-methoxysterigmatocystin (5-M-STC) are structurally related mycotoxins with cytotoxic and genotoxic properties. In the present study, we hypothesized that DNA damage induced by non-cytotoxic concentrations of single and combined mycotoxins could alter the phosphorylation...
